Hello Krafty friends! I am playing along with Kimmie this month and today the adorable Gnomes are getting ready for the holidays! I stamped up some light untangling for my creative session. I colored her up with some Copics, her are the colors I used.

I colored her up then added my usual suspects of a few layers of paper and a couple embellishments.

I am actually sitting in Barrow Alaska currently and I am making do with VERY limited supplies so sorry if you notice a few wonky edges he he. For the foreseeable future I will be no place longer than about 5-6 weeks and shorter so bear with me as life looks a lot different. Thanks as always for stopping by and supporting me!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Wanted to share another card featuring the set. I started by sketching a bookcase around a few of the stamps with a pencil and small ruler.

I added ink since the stamp lines are black making sure that the ink is Copic compatible since I knew I was going to color with Copic.

Here are the Copics I used. I only used singular colors on the books. They are just small and I had a lot going so the coloring stayed simpler on this card.

And of course the finished card. The image was almost the full size of the card front so some simple layers to complete.

Hope you are finding a few Krafty treats that inspire creativity. Thanks for continually stoping by and inspiring me.

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

I am having fun coloring up another Axolotl today. A little more no line coloring with my Copics. I wanted to keep this little guy one of the lighter combinations that you see on line, here is what I used.

The challenge with lighter colors is it is hard to make the outline disappear. You can still see my stamped image lines.

That is where a background can sometimes help you out! Watch how the last of my pink outline lines disappear. Here are the colors I used.

I used a stencil from Kraftin Kimmie to create a beautiful oval around my axolotl and sentiment with a pencil VERY LIGHTLY. Then I filled it in with my blues. Here is a look at the completed card!

Hope you have found some favorites and must haves this month! Thank you as always for taking the time to stop/hop by.

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Hope you have liked this months release and are already picking a few items to add to your Krafty space! Today I am coloring up one of the axolotl from the new set that I created. When Kim asked me to draw this set I have to admit I did not know what an axolotl was. I fell in love immediately, who can resist a little critter that is always smiling?!! Here is a peek at the Copic markers that I used on the axolotls on this card.

And here are the colors that I used to create the water effect over the axolotls.

Here is a look at the coloring, I did this image in a no-line style.

A couple layers to finish the card!

Thanks for stopping by remember that the release goes live today!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Day 3 of the July Kraftin’ Kimmie Peeks!

 Today is our third day of Krafty Peeks for the July Release

 at Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps!

 
 
Today we are ‘peeking’ a beautiful scenery set 
from artist Michelle Houghton
 and it’s called…..

BAREFOOT BEACH!

 
 
We now have a new seaside landscape to add to our collection!! If you’re a fan, you’ll also want to check out the beautiful Majestic Mountains scenery and Desert Landscape sets!!

Check out BAREFOOT BEACH! in so many creations today as you hop around the Krafty Team’s blogs! You’ll also see the new stencils along the way!

 

You’ll see more of our July goodies tomorrow, and then everything will be released after our LIVE Online Release Party on Saturday at 12 noon ET in the Krafty Friends facebook group!  
 
 
For now, check out all the beautiful projects in today’s hop!
See you tomorrow!

Thank you as always for stopping by! I have a simple card to share today using the Barefoot Beach image. I am using my Copics, but this time on watercolor paper. For those who have not tried it watercolor paper blends incredibly easy! The softness of the paper lets even harder blends turn smooth with ease. The biggest draw back is the absorbency of the paper. Watercolor paper is made to soak up moisture and it will soak up your ink as well. You will find you will use more than you normally would on a small image. I believe the effects are still worth it. Here are the colors I used:

A close up look at the Copic on watercolor paper.

A couple pieces of patterned paper and a card.

Have a Happy Colorful Day!
